CAMERA.

APPLICATION FILED NOV. 21, 1905.

W/TNESSES: INVENTOH 4 K I ATTORNEYS to the sensitized plate. Furthermore, the color of these screens is selected with a view to minimizing the effect upon the plate of whatever reflected 1i ht may reach it.

Special attention is called to the fact that by the use of this invention light from the focusing-lens is admitted to the same compartment with the sensitized plate withouteing able to reach the plate or affect it in any way. On this account the camera is compact and its construction is simple. Attentlon is further called to the fact that the rays of light from the two lenses cross each other without producing any injurious effects. This makes it unnecessary to set the focusinglens to oneside and permits the adoption of the invention without increasing the width of the camera-box.

Having thus described the preferred form of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A camera having an auxiliary lens, a reflector receiving light from said lens, a focusing-s'creen receiving the image from said reflector and a plurality of transverse bars, screening the sensitized plate from all rays of light admitted at said auxiliary lens, said rays of light passing between said transverse ars.

2. A cameta having a colored focusingscreen visible from the exterior, an auxiliary lens throwing an image on said screen and transversely-extending bars directing all rays of light admitted at said lens upon said screen and excluding the light from the sensitized plate.

3. A camera having an auxiliary lens, a colored screen passing light from said lens, a colored focusing-screen visible from the ex terior and receiving the image from said lens, and transverse bars screening the position of the sensitive plate.

4. A camera having an auxiliary lens, a focusing-screen visible from the exterior, a reflector throwing the image from said lens upon said screen, and transverse bars crossing the inner face of said screen and intercepting light which might pass therefrom to the position of the sensitive plate.

5. A camera having a front with an auxiliary lens, a reflector behind said lens, a focus ing-screen in a wall of said camera and re-. ceiving the image from said reflector, a main lens, and transverse bars between which the light passes to said screen from said mirror, said bars intercepting the light which might pass from said main lens to said reflector.

6. A camera having a front, a main lens, and an auxiliary lens in said front, a colored screen behind said auxiliary lens and passing the image therefrom, an inclined reflector behind said auxiliary lens, a colored focusingscreen in the camera-wall receiving the image from said reflector, transverse bars crossing said focusing-screen and intercepting light therefrom, and other transverse bars near said reflector.

7. In a camera in combination, a box having a colored screen in the upper wall thereof, a. main lens and an auxiliary lens, means for movably carrying said lenses, a reflector adapted to receive the image from said auxiliary lens and throw said image upon said screen, and a lurality of transverse bars between which t e rays of light pass from said reflector to said screen, said bars constituting a trap for intercepting the light.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribin witnesses.
